HR 5991 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.

The Department of Homeland Security must rescind any outstanding removal orders or findings of deportability or inadmissibility against her. She must file an application within two years of enactment and pay required fees. Upon grant of permanent resident status, the number of immigrant visas available to nationals of her birth country will be reduced by one.
